What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Hurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Window mastic in Hurst, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
In a village or hamlet like Hurst, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need window mastic in Hurst
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you let a flat or house near Twyford station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Do you cover smaller places like Hurst?
Yes, Hurst is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How much does window mastic cost in Hurst?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window mastic in Hurst: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
